Wallabadah Rock in cloud semi-open farmland. We used the Temi, 1:25000 topographic map, and as was typical of the time, all competitors received a copy of the topographic map and a list of checkpoints with six figure grid references with which they plotted the location of the checkpoints on their map. There had been heavy rain in the lead up and we were concerned about getting competitors into and out of the event. The rain continued off and on throughout the event so the Hash House (the shearing shed on Swegn Smith’s property, with its attendant smell) was well used by competitors.

Inside the Hash house Sadly, my records are incomplete and don’t include the results for the Murrurundi event. However, I mailed a note to all competitors in June 1983 advising them that they were financial members of the NSW Rogaining Association and advised them of a meeting in Sydney in the following month to formalise this arrangement and to ratify a constitution. There were 80 members of NSWRA in November 1983. The Victorian Rogaining Association kindly agreed to add our members to their newsletter mailing list until we began producing regular newsletters in 1984. A second NSWRA rogaine, a 12 hour event, was run at Armidale in November 1983. By the end of that year it was clear that rogaining was likely to develop strongly in this state. An indication of this was that Peter and Robyn Tuft successfully organised the 1984 Australian Rogaining Championships for NSWRA.
